📋 About This Mod
Animated Fish
Adds animations for all the fish of Stardew Valley. Check out the config file to disable/enable animations if you don't like some of them (more information below).
Installation
Make sure to have the latest versions of the required mods:
- Content Patcher
- and SpaceCore
Config
There is a config.json in the mod folder where you can disable/enable each animation. Simply change "true" to "false", if you want to disable or reverse if you want to enable an animation.
You can also change the speed of the animation in the content.json file, change the "AnimationFrameTime": x, to however long you want the animation to be.
Some items have different versions, for example: "Blobfish1", "Blobfish2" and "Blobfish3". You can only have one of these enabled in the config.json at one time.
